Woke up ard 6.30am, turning and tossing in the bed until about 7.30am, took a shower and we proceed to Raffles hospital for the jab. Mummy thought the appointment was at 9am, but in fact it's at 9.30am, and Dr Tan arrived at about 9.45am.. (what's new, doctors always have the privilege to be late)

| Papa have to pin me down in order to take height measurement |
 |
| Now my turn to see others being pinned down (Kpo look) |
 |
| Continue to play while waiting for the doctor |
My weight is 9.2kg, height is unknown. Looks like i've lost some weight this time round. Again.. Dr Tan says im slightly underweight.. But it's okie, bcos mummy and daddy are also tall and skinny, i have their genes.. =)

| What is the doctor doing? |
As mummy told Dr Tan that i have not been eating well, only able to finish half the portion of my meal all the time, so Dr Tan prescribed Pharmaton (Multivitamin syrup) for me to take everyday.. The syrup is orange flavoured, but with a v strong medi smell, it doesn't taste good at all..
By right the next jab will be at 7 yrs old, but Dr Tan recommended that i should take Hep B jab at the age of 2 yrs old, so... my next meet up with Dr Tan will be on the 18 Feb 2012.
While waiting to make payment, mummy went to ask the nurse, how to calculate the amount of paracetamol that i should drink.. Reason is bcos we still have those old paracetamol in our fridge which will only expire in a few mths time..
Extracted from Internet:
Depends on the childs body weight. Generally you can calculate 10 to 15 mg per kg body weight of the child.
for eg: if your child weighs 30 kg you can give him 300mg to 450 mg of paracetamol which can be repeated every four hours if needed.
But be careful that the dosage does not exceed more than 100 mg per kg body weight in 24 hrs. that is for a 30 kg child you should not exceed a dose of 3000mg in a day.
Calculation from the pharmacist:
9.2kg should take 3ml of paracatamol or 4ml of neurofen
